and interaction between stakeholders interested in the present,
but most importantly in the future of the Black Sea region. Therefore
it can help them sharing their expertise, projects and practical

Black Sea Forum for Dialogue and Partnership sets the framework
for launching an integrated and transparent thinking process aimed
at the region itself, its identity and future able to:
| • |
Further build mutual trust; |
| • |
Facilitate synergy between regional initiatives; |
| • |
Identify and ground ideas; |
| • |
Promote pragmatic regional projects that meet the actual
needs of the region. |
| • |
Generate a mutual awareness dialogue and share lesson learned
by the region with the extraregional partners. |
Black Sea Forum for Dialogue and Partnership will be based in active
and open dialogue between institutions and civil society within
the Black Sea region, as well as with European and Euro-Atlantic
partners.
Purpose of the Forum
The Purpose of the Forum is to create a platform for cooperation
and commitment to development of a regional strategy and a common
vision, as materialization of a new political vision, and to identify
coordination opportunities based on this vision.
Objectives of the forum
Forum’s objectives are as follows:
| • |
Underpin the importance of ensuring stability and democratic
transformations and European aspirations in the Black Sea
region; |
| • |
Facilitate an extended regional dialogue between government
and non-government organizations and assist them in focusing
their efforts towards achieving pre-defined goals; |
| • |
Create a new platform and new opportunities for the countries
in the region to state their positions regarding the future
of the area, thus promoting the regional interests in a cooperative,
transparent and solidarity-based manner, and acting like a
resonance box for conveying the message of the region; |
| • |
Generate new ideas of preventing conflicts and crisis management,
providing development opportunities in a multilateral context; |
| • |
Explore the unvalued potential of certain regional cooperation
areas and of collaboration with international institutions
already active in the area, as consensus generating factors;
|
| • |
Enhance efforts synergy between the actions of all the players
in the region and outside its borders (regional and international
organizations, other states), focused on agreed priorities
and facilitate the set-up of an external “critical mass” as
“informal” endorser of the democratic stability in the region. |
| • |
Increase the dynamism of the Black Sea regional market,
interrelated to the European economic market; |
| • |
Enhance cooperation and educational exchanges between academic
institutions, as a long term investment in the regional security. |
